From the article

Hollywood Brown's career history has more evidence of him being capable of handling heavy usage, although his numbers have been trending down some in recent years. He's had triple-digit targets in four consecutive seasons between 2020-2023, but would probably be better suited as a horizontal/vertical stretch role player for this receiving corps rather than a true mainstay at the top of the depth chart.

STACKED’s take

Brown's declining numbers suggest stretch role better than No. 2 receiver spot.

Brown has career history of handling heavy usage with triple-digit targets in four consecutive seasons (2020–2023), but his numbers have been trending down in recent years. He would be better suited as a horizontal/vertical stretch role player for the Eagles' receiving corps rather than a true mainstay at the top of the depth chart, making the No. 2 receiver role likely to come down to whether Makai Lemon can hit the ground running.
